John Cole

I'm a senior lecturer here at
the University of Texas at Dallas. I had taught at Collin County Community
College for three years, and prior to that, at Illinois Institute of
Technology in the mid-1970s, which is also where I earned my degrees.
Before joining the full-time faculty at UTD in Fall 2012, I had taught part-time for 13
semesters. I have been a software developer for many years, working
on projects as diverse as a SNOBOL4 compiler, a
DATABUS compiler, a word
processor, the operating system for an early computer, statistical
analysis of insurance claims, telecommunications, and embedded programming. I have used a variety of
languages, such as Java, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Intel assembly language,
and many others. I still do some outside programming. Note
to graduate students: I am not a researcher nor can I give you an
assistantship of any sort.
